Mandy snorted behind him, and he turned around to look at her. He gave her his puppy-dog eyes. She sighed quietly, "He's right; it does get a bit cold."

"Okay, I'll wear it. Thanks, Jin." Then they were off.

Mandy was trying her hardest to contain her giggles. Could you make it any more obvious, Jin? She looked at her little sister. She had sweater paws since the hoodie was so large on her. She was smelling it, and based on the scents coming off of her, she was happy and content smelling his scent. "So, what do you think about Jin?"

Kris blushed a bit, "he's nice and funny. Plus, he's handsome."

"He's a good Alpha; he'd make a great mate."

She sighed slightly, "he only likes me because I'm an Omega." 

Mandy pulled her Mustang into its parking spot, put it in the park, and unbuckled her seat belt as she reached across and pulled the Omega in her arms, "Oh baby, don't think like that. Regardless of whether you are an Omega or not, you are a mother fucking catch, do you hear me?"

"I know you are right; it's just hard to convince myself." She sniffled. 

Mandy tucked her hair behind her ear and pulled the hood on the hoodie up. The scent should help calm her, and she shouldn't have to use her Alpha pheromones to soothe the Omega. It seemed to work; she calmed down by smelling Jin's scent. He's her mate, and she wonders if she's realized it. Lord knows Jin's caught on since it now reeks in her car. Not that Jin smells terrible; it's just to another Alpha. It's overbearing and almost annoying. 

They got inside and got everything ready for Ikon to show up; Mandy had to turn the air up so Kris would keep the hoodie on. Jin better help pay for the damn electric bill that month, she swore to God, the Alpha grumbled.

When Ikon showed up, it was utter chaos. For the first 15 minutes, Kris was frozen in place. But she finally introduced them all, and when the guy named Jay started to flirt with her, Mandy thought her sister was going to explode into a million little, tiny Kris pieces. By the time lunchtime rolled around, Kris felt more comfortable around them. Mandy was snickering. Thank goodness Jin wasn't there to see it.

Then, a chill filled the room; Kris whimpered, and so did DK, the other Omega, in the room. Jay looked at Kris and started to ask her if she was okay, but the growl that filled the room was scary. You don't fuck with someone's mate, she may not have been marked, but there was another Alpha scent all over her. Enough to tell other Alphas to back the fuck off. 

Jin sat the food and drinks down on the table and stalked toward his Omega. He wrapped his arms around her, and her face was in his chest. "I'm sorry I scared you, baby." He lowered his head to whisper in her ear, "I saw another Alpha touch you, and I lost my head a bit."

She lifted her head to look at him, "why do you care?" She whispered.

He pinched her chin to keep her eyes on him, "Because baby, you are mine, my Omega."

"Is it because I'm an Omega?"

He chuckled lightly, "Being an Omega is just a bonus, but regardless, you are my mate."

The blush spread across her entire face was adorable, and then she hid her face in his chest. Jin wrapped his arms around her tighter, just enjoying the feeling of finally having her in his arms like that. There was a cough behind him, and he turned his head to see Mandy staring at him. "Don't you have work to do, Seokjin?"

"I brought you some food, you ungrateful ass," he grumbled, but he knew she could hear him. 

"Oh? Then you are forgiven." She clapped her hands and gestured for everyone to eat if they wanted.

Once everyone started to move towards the food, Jin pulled Kris over there; he'd be damn if she didn't get food since she was the only reason it was even there. He fixed her a plate, pulled her onto his lap, and fed her bite by bite, all while glaring at that Alpha that tried to touch his Omega. By the time the Omega was fed, Jin was sure the Alpha knew that this Omega was off limits and taken by an Alpha willing to fight for her. 

He pulled Kris off of his lap and kissed her forehead. "I have to run back to work, baby. I left Hobi alone, but I'll see you tonight at home." He said the last part loud enough for the other Alpha to hear. Kris didn't say anything; she just blushed and nodded her head. "Bye, Mandy."

And then he was gone. Kris looked at her sister with wide eyes. Mandy snorted, "I told you." They spent the next few hours finishing up the photo shoot. "Hey Kris, can you run next door and ask if they are about done?"

Kris looked up, confused, "huh?"

"Jimin and Tae, they own the flower shop, and they are the reason my ass has to shoot so many damn weddings."

"Yah, those weddings pay for this kick-ass studio."

Mandy looked at Tae and rolled her eyes. "They do, but you don't have to deal with Bridezillas. You get to drop the flowers off and bounce."

"Are you guys done? Jimin is locking up right now."

"Yeah, we are. Just let me lock up. I'll meet you in the car," Mandy said as she tossed Tae her keys.

"If you guys work next to each other, why didn't they ride with us this earlier?"

Mandy looked up from where she was turning her studio lights off. "Oh, Yoongi gives them a ride if I don't have to be here first thing in the morning. My studio isn't walk-in, so I don't have set hours. If I'm here in the mornings, then they'll catch a ride with me. If not, Yoongi works across the street, so he takes them."

"Why doesn't he take them home?"
